Abstract (in English)

Insofar as the spirit of Blenheim can be confined within the selection criteria entitling the site to be included on the World Heritage List, the integrated management plan of 2007, provides a framework within which different ways of safeguarding such a spirit may be studied. The plan incorporates national and world heritage site features, the latter creating the need to build on the principle of cultural sustainability. Thus the post selection values of care and management may be scrutinized in relation to the intangible cultural heritage. Although local authorities undertake to recognize the status of world heritage sites, management plans are not statutory documents in the United Kingdom. The main question resolved therefore, through documentary analysis, is that on-going rivalries are beneficial for, rather than inimical to, safeguarding the spirit of this place in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom.
